On Saturday, Brianna & Donald tied the knot in one of the sweetest backyard ceremonies that I’ve ever photographed! After their first kiss, the bride and groom skipped back down the aisle to the delight of their family + friends!
Brianna and Donald are truly an incredible couple! Over the course of their relationship, have endured distance and deployment, only growing closer as weeks evolved into months without seeing one another while Donald served in the Army. Brianna still keeps the first letter that Donald wrote to her when he left for training and through it all, they have learned that the little things are so often the big things. I absolutely loved seeing Brianna’s vision come together and teared up as two balloons were released into the sky in honor of Donald’s father. This wedding was truly one for the record books… and I am so grateful that I had the honor of documenting this day!
Congratulations newlyweds! Enjoy your honeymoon in the South Pacific!
